"Andre Ayew is one of those that we'd have to say is a good signing for the Premier League as well as Swansea. For Jordan it's not gone as well but we don't know if that's because Andre's in a better team."

Andre Ayew and Jordan Ayew are likely to line up against each other this afternoon as the brothers face off at Villa Park.

Who will get the bragging rights?

An excellent atmosphere at Ewood Park as the sides stride out on to the pitch. I'd wager that there might be a card or two today...

Does Jose Mourinho want to be sacked at Chelsea? Our BBC Radio 5 live pundits give their views.

Jermaine Jenas says: “When he came back it was a long-term thing. He was thinking of himself as being a ‘Mr Chelsea’.

“It’s the first time we’ve seen him under real pressure and he might not be handling it as some may have thought but I would not say he is begging for the sack. I think he would just walk.”

Chris Sutton adds: “Who could you get better than Mourinho? He is making some odd decisions but you can’t doubt the man. Carlo Ancelotti is free, but he is not as good as Jose Mourinho.”

"Managers do need to give a certain perception to the fans. But when they go into the dressing room there's always a clear message to the players. That’s all part of good management but the media is such a big part and you have to give off a different persona for the fans."

"West Ham go into the game against Chelsea game in great form. Slaven Bilic has carried it on from last season. If they can get their home form right they could be on for a top-six finish."

As well as the big game brewing at Blackburn, there's an early game in League One too.

Sheffield United have just kicked off against Millwall, and you can follow the latest here.

"I'm a massive fan of Diego Costa. He's a warrior. People like Mark Hughes, Mick Harford were gentlemen off the pitch but they were monsters on it. Costa is the same.

"He loves the rough and tumble and if you're centre-back and not ready for it he's already ahead of you on the pitch."

There is barely a day that goes by when Jose Mourinho and Chelsea aren't topping the headlines - you suspect that's exactly how he likes it.

Diego Costa is back from his ban, and was back with a bang last weekend. Is he going to be key again this afternoon?

No early game then but what do we have in store from 15:00 BST in the Premier League?

Plenty of talking points here no doubt...

Aston Villa v Swansea

Leicester v Crystal Palace

Norwich v West Brom

Stoke v Watford

West Ham v Chelsea

Arsenal v Everton (17:30 BST)

Blackburn Rovers are without a win in four matches against East Lancashire rivals Burnley - having won the previous six in a row.

Also, we have a live text commentary for you here which will have everything covered.

Ninety minutes. That is all that separates non-league teams from a dream FA Cup tie against Football League sides.  

You can follow all the action from the final qualifying round here today.

Good afternoon everyone! It feels like winter is well and truly on its way but we'll have no discontent here today please.

No early Premier League game to ease us into the action but instead there's FA Cup gold and a cracker of a Lancashire derby for your lunchtime enjoyment.

All set?

Right, it's time for the handover and you'll have the magic words of Tom Rostance to keep you company this afternoon. Enjoy.
